HELLO!
I have a quickie for you today.
You can do this in a cinch 😉
or, in a pinch.
It’s pretty fast & easy.
and why is that?
BECAUSE…
say it with me;
“I am a lazy crafter”.
Now you’re getting it!!
Lets make something cheap & easy.
Just like me! I mean, Are you ready?
One:
Grab a branch.
I got mine after a big storm.

So, FREE.
If you don’t count the $650 we had to spend to have tree removal done afterwards. Ouch!
If you need more ideas on how to get branches…

Go visit Viv at The V Spot
She is one branch loving gal!!
TWO:
Spray paint it white.
I had some on hand.
Didn’t take much so maybe another $2 for a partial can.
I also added some frosty looking glittery stuff.
Not really necessary-Can’t even see it!
THREE:
Stick it in a big vase.
(I got mine from Costco, like 13? years ago)
Man I am getting old!
Or, you can use anything you have that will support the weight of your stick. A watering can, clay pot, bucket, etc…
(You can always weigh down the bottom)
FOUR:
Add two packages of glittery (luv glitter)
Easter Eggs from the Dollar Tree.
So, 2 packages=$2.
Nice and Le’ Cheap 😉
Now… I could have added a hand strung garland made out of colorful buttons I “happened” to have laying around… but, then it would not be fast, easy, or come in at $2 bucks… So I skipped that part.
Because this is good enough.

Now Your Home Says…
… and it didn’t break the bank!
This was SO easy.
Happy Spring!
The sun showed her pretty face yesterday and that sure made me happy. The deer came by for a visit too.
Have a Super Day

Yours was much easier than mine! And I went to Dollar General (ahhhh, that’s where I went wrong) and didn’t see any of those eggs!
Bawahhhhh ha ha… you’ve got to see mine ….. I’m so not crafty!
